Lamolina benched in Liga Profesional after Boca-Barracas row | OneFootball

The match between Boca and Barracas left much to discuss both in terms of football and refereeing. Regarding the sporting aspect, the Xeneize secured a victory that allows them to depend on themselves until the end of the Clausura Tournament, thinking about qualifying for the playoffs and the Copa Libertadores through the annual table.

In the refereeing section, Nicolás Lamolina's direction was marked by controversies from the start of the match. Two uncalled expulsions for Rafael Barrios and Javier Ruiz, which also involved the VAR - led by Silvio Trucco - and a red card for a second yellow to Iván Tapia, son of Chiqui and captain of Barracas, for a foul on Leandro Paredes.

The captain of the Guapo had been booked minutes earlier for a discussion with LP5 and at 14′ was sent to the showers after receiving the second yellow. Following this expulsion of Iván Tapia, Federico Beligoy - National Director of Refereeing of AFA - chose not to appoint Nicolás Lamolina for any match of the 14th date of the local championship.

This decision was 100% made by Beligoy after these controversies in the match held at the Claudio Tapia stadium. Conversely, Silvio Trucco was appointed for a match on this date, specifically the one between River and Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata at the Monumental. Trucco had responsibility in the plays involving Barrios and Ruiz, as both actions could have been reviewed for a possible direct red card. However, both Barracas players remained on the field.
